moving IS a workout..

I've been hiking 2 flights of stairs moving boxes between 20-40 lbs and furniture 40+ for the last 3 consecutive days. My ass will so tight after this I could probably destroy walnuts. Magically, I've had zero knee issues other than carpet burn. On a side note, my gf and I painted the new apartment & it looks fantastic for a non professional job.  I'm so proud of our teamwork so I'm sharing.

The ceilings are vaulted and the living room is about 17-20ft. I had to dangerously stand on the top run to get that top edge. We used one of those laser levels to tape off the border.

Purple in the bedroom.. I actually LOVE IT!! It was our compromise. I got blue in the living room instead of gray and I get to keep my sofa chair (provided I get it cleaned).

Bad Puppy..

Oye Vey! what a crazy last two weeks... I've been looking for a new job. Early January I interviewed for a IT job and it was between myself and another candidate. My competiton had more experience, but the manager liked my personality. He even called me a "career guy". Well I didn't get it, but they called me back about two weeks ago with an offer.

Last week I get a call about an analyst job which = dream job hello!!!!  Killed the phone screens & got a face-2-face for the next week, which was Friday (yesterday). I was tested on my programming and then grilled. I'm sad because I don't think I got it. I'm wondering if I can write a persuasive email. It slipped out that I had an offer from another company. Crap right?  To prepare for this interview I actually spent two days in sunny San Diego practicing my coding. So I basically invested about $100 with gas, food, and parking. 

Sounds like good puppy right? Naw.. I stayed with a female friend. We went out to Hooters and took some photo booth pictures. We didn't do anything!!  I didn't plan to try anything!!  Its just my gf makes me feel guilty. The next day I had ice cream with a friend I used to date. Tomorrow its lunch with another female friend.  The real issue is that my friends know of my gf, but my gf doesn't know my friends. She thinks my Facebook is a catalog of girls I used to sleep with.  I used to invite her, but she gets super jealous. I don't really know what to do about it, but I does make me feel bad.

I wanted to swim tomorrow but it will be storming...

Despite having only 5 posts last month my chronicles captured 174 visits. Thanks for reading!  I'm moving to a new apartment, looking for a new job, and trying to get back into training. One day at a time...

I have a great bike ride on Saturday and followed with a short weight lifting session for my legs. I did the same on Wednesday, but I did a walk and upper body weights. But on Saturday I went for a walk with my gf to look at paint colors and buy groceries & both knees were killing me. Even as I type they are sore as hell. I took a trip to the hot tub but that relief is only temporary.  What's more odd is my aunt is having knee surgery tomorrow. I don't envy her one bit.

I think I'm going to either just swim(which I have yet to do) or stop lifting weights.
